I'm expecting that they'll use the same stages but have different story quest midstage cutscenes and other such things. (We'll probably fight Seha in 3-7 instead of Nata, for instance since they established Nata seeing Seha as a rival.) And I am expecting Teamwork Levels to only work for other members of the same team. (Provides less incentive for someone who continues to main a Black Lamb to level up Wolfdogs, but still.)

But I wonder, how will other things be handled?

-Will Black Lambs and Wolfdogs be allowed to party with each other?

-Will they get the same job advancement ranks and quests even though they're not officially affiliated with UNion?

-Because they will have different goals and such, how will this affect future areas and their storylines? We know Season 2 will be fighting against terrorists. We know the Vultures primarily go around collecting the remains of dimensionals for the development of weapons. Would they be deployed to fight the terrorists as well?

-What would be the reason for allowing the Wolfdogs into the Plane Gate? The facility with the portal is a UNion one. The PNA system is apparently something done with the assistance of UNion scientists. But would UNion really want to help make criminals stronger? Nata definitely looks like someone who was arrested for murder. Probably even got into organized crime with his abilities. (Granted, Mistletein's backstory and the G Tower storyline shows that UNion is willing to do some pretty shady stuff.)

-Considering that J and Mistletein were all over promotional material, in the Area 4 ending cutscene, and on the character creation screen even though they weren't released yet. And that they had to have been planning the Wolfdogs out all this time, (Complete with Nata himself already ingame functioning as a playable character. He even uses Psychic Power in the 3-7 story quest!) do you think they'll reveal all five Wolfdogs by the time/in the update where Nata is released?

-Overpowered new characters that get nerfed later on syndrome? (But then again, Mistletein actually got BUFFED from where he was on release.....)

As far as i noticed in the game files,they will most likely (69%) start in a prison,at least the prologue area or nata's background story alone (assuming he was a serial killer and was hired by the vultures to "pay for his crimes")

Doubt it'll be an entirely different server. Probably the same but just starting out differently like in WoW or RAN online. with their own quests and story eventually leading to meeting up for PK/non-pvp zone for parties with black lambs. Please make PK/PK zone happen Naddic even though it's hardly possible.

Likely yes. It'd be pretty dumb if they didn't, since that would mean the Wolfdogs' story will have nothing but Natas and that scythe-lady-whose-name-I-forgot running around.

Quote:-Will they get the same job advancement ranks and quests even though they're not officially affiliated with UNion?

Also likely yes. Since the Black Lambs and the Bark-barks will be working together, they're going to have to share resources. Especially since the Vultures provided support for the Black Lambs.

Either they allow cross-parties between the teams but making the story pretend that either side aren't really helping the other, or alter the story to include the Bark-Barks.

It's already given that UNION isn't above using Dimensionals to power their equipment. It's likely they'll send out the Bark-barks because while they seem the type to be hard to rein in, they're also less inclined to have any moral issues with the mission at hand due to being criminals, allowing them to get the job done.

That'll probably be the case. The cutscenes already had Mistel in them even though he wasn't playable, so it's safe to assume the case will be the same for the Bark-barks. Although I'm guessing that's until after they release concept art for the rest of the unit.

Highly doubt it. Mistel was only absurdly broken because Naddic wanted him to be the game's mascot. I think the Bark-barks won't get the same treatment...except for the scythe-lady, maybe, since she seems to be more hype than Nata.
